Johnny Cash going to Abu Dhabi, pictures to come

posted on June 7, 2010 at 9:07 pm

Pictured above is a framed photo of Johnny Cash. As you can see, I tried to sell it for $1 at my estate sale last weekend. Mysteriously, it failed to sell. I can barely comprehend why so many estate salers could walk by this picture and resist the temptation to buy. Therefore, I’ve decided to take this incident as divine intervention — clearly, I’m supposed to take this picture to Abu Dhabi.

So, that’s just what I’m going to do. I’ll post a picture in August of Mr. Cash on my office wall at Zayed University.

    Matt,
    It is truly unbelievable that the picrture of Johnny Cash was not snapped up at the estate sale. Perhaps people thought the $1 was an abbreviation for 1 Million US dollars… You might share a little “Folsom Prison Blues” with the people of Abu Dhabi.
